Every time you hear vicious, violent attacks from the right, remember: GOP Attacks Reveal and Conceal the GOP's Own Worst Flaws and Failures. They do this because:
Aggressively Attacking Others for Your Own Flaws and Mistakes Makes You Appear Blameless
Here are some examples:
Budget Deficits - The GOP squandered Clinton budget surpluses with major tax cuts for the wealthy, two expensive foreign wars and a new Medicare drug program that were all paid for with massive deficits of unprecedented proportions.
They don't want America to remember what the GOP did under George W. Bush so they attack the huge budget deficits they in fact created.
They rail against Democratic spending and Democratic deficits so they can look like fiscal conservatives.
Government "Control" of Health Care - It's the GOP who are the real control freaks, they require absolute obedience to GOP leadership and lock step voting en mass on Capitol Hill. Democrats emphasize goals and the good of the country but have a hard time controlling anything even with large majorities."Controlling" health care is not the Democrats goal. Control IS a GOP fixation.
Arrogance - The GOP fancies itself "The Elect" - an exalted elite that is entitled to rule because of their superior social standing and insights. The opposition is suspect, illegal and unconstitutional as shown by "Birthers" claiming Obama was born in Kenya.
Aggressively attacking your adversaries for your own failings, like arrogance, makes you seem blameless.
Government Death Panels - We already have Death Panels in the United States, they are called private health insurance companies and preexisting conditions. If you do not have health insurance coverage and cannot afford to pay for medical care, you die. Why would anyone feel the U.S. Government will be more abusive than private insurance companies?
When the GOP attacks, GOP flaws and failures are denied, distorted and defended. Their aggressive attacks deceive, distract, discredit and delay any and all opposing facts and opinions from being voiced.
When you hear GOP aggression, notice how GOP flaws and failures are revealed and concealed in their attacks.
We Need Truth To Make Good Decisions - Without the Truth we are doomed to repeat the Bush years in the near future.
